Most of my writing is to teach and enlighten children and their grown-ups about the Christian Faith. 

I currently write resources for Scripture Union (England and Wales) which includes children’s books, holiday club material, scripts and other teaching material.

I wrote all the content for God for Kids app and some of the content for SunScool app (mostly animations and audio stories)
